Bernie still fighting!

While
Democratic candidates Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton were busy
fighting for the support of the American people during a CNN debate,
the people of Maine were busy casting their vote in the primary
election.

The lively
debate was interrupted for the breaking news that CNN and other
outlets were projecting that Maine had chosen Sanders as their
Democratic nominee, bringing his number of primary wins to eight. As
of this morning, with 91 percent reporting, Sanders sits at 64.3
percent to Clinton’s 35.5.

With this
win, the gap between Clinton and Sanders is shrinking quickly, and
the idea that Sanders is as good as finished becomes more and more
preposterous. Not counting Superdelegates, Clinton now holds 672
delegates to Sanders’ 477. These numbers, while still stacked
against the Senator, do not in any way indicate that the race is
over.

Mainstream
corporate media was content to make room for Sanders when it appeared
that his momentum was not going to slow, but now that things have
gotten more complicated, most outlets are content to once again push
Sanders away. Do not be fooled into believing that this race is over
just because MSNBC and CNN tell you it is. Sanders’ revolution is
still raging.
